    This document discusses the Peaucellier linkage, which can generate a straight line from rotational motion. It describes the history and workings of the linkage, including its use of inversion geometry. The document then outlines the modelling, assembly, analysis and conclusion of a project to analyze the motion of a 3D modelled Peaucellier linkage. Linear displacement, velocity and acceleration are plotted against time. It is found that the linkage is not practical for applications requiring large strokes due to exponentially increasing velocities at the limits of motion.

    INTRODUCTION
    The Peaucellier linkage, also sometimes called the Peaucellier cell, is a simple linkage that has the
    unique property that its endpoint traces out an exact straight line. Peaucellier's linkage was invented by
    Charles Nicolas Peaucellier in 1864, and it was the first planar linkage that could produce a straight line
    (Bryant & Sangwin, 2008, p. 34). There are other, earlier linkages that could approximate a straight line
    quite well, such as Chebyshev's and Roberts's linkages, but it can be shown mathematically that
    Peaucellier's cell will produce (given ideal pivots and rigid links) a perfect straight line (Bryant &
    Sangwin, 2008, pp. 34-36).

    The need for a straight line generator came in the form of James Watt's steam engine, which required a
    linkage to move a piston rod vertically along a line. James Watt himself is credited with the first
    approximate-straight line linkage, most likely a child of the above steam engine problem (Bryant &
    Sangwin, 2008, p. 22). When asked to make a straight line, many people will seek to use a ruler or other
    straightedge. However, there are two problems with this approach. First, is the so-called "straightedge"
    really straight? Second, given that the ruler is indeed straight, how was it itself created? Is it rulers all
    the way down? The first problem is an interesting one, though out of the scope of this thesis. Addressing
    the second problem, it is true that the simplest way to make a straight line is to somehow copy an existing
    straight line. However, Peaucellier's linkage is able to generate a straight line from pure rotational
    motion of seven links, which gives it the ability to produce the "first" straight line.

    OA = OB = 11AP = PB = BC = CA= 12OQ = OC = 13

    Under these conditions, the point P will be exactly constrained to a straight line that is orthogonal to line
    segment OQ. Peaucellier's linkage works because the inverse of a circle through the center of inversion
    is a straight line. In this case, 0 is the center of inversion, and the circle defined by QC is the circle that
    is being inverted. Bryant and Sangwin provide an excellent proof for Peaucellier's linkage, as well as a
    discussion of inverse geometry.

    CONCLUSION

    This study has delved into an analysis of the motion and configuration of the Peaucellier mechanism
    as it travels through its entire range of motion. Although the original goal was to create the
    maximum stroke possible, it has resulted that this is not a practical application at all with the
    exponentially increasing velocities at the limits of motion. Velocity analysis proved to be much
    more helpful in determining a useful optimization and description of the mechanism that will
    hopefully contribute to industrial use of the mechanism.
    The standard and alternate configurations have been found to have similar, if not identical, patterns
    of movement. More analysis could be done to determine potential benefits or drawbacks of using
    one configuration versus the other beyond the scope of position and velocity analysis, such as
    transmission angle and total workspace. These attributes, along with net weight and relationship
    between ground link and x-value, could also be used as possible goals and design specifications for
    appropriate sizing of this special straight-line mechanism.
